Subject: Re: She Had No Face
You're assuming the classic burglar paradigm is holding. It's not.

What you're dealing with now are street junkies who live in tents who need to score a drug fix RIGHT NOW. That means they don't follow "the rules" of burglaries. They'll break into a place to get the money to buy the drugs that they need right that second.

Can you provide a link that documents that this is happening at a sufficient enough frequency to "break" the classic burglar paradigm?

Just thinking about it, I would think that even "street junkies" would be more likely to break into cars than homes - they're easier targets, they're right there on the street, small and easily searchable in a few seconds, and you can readily make sure there's no one in them. Or steal bikes or other property kept outside, rather than breaking into a house.
